The credit has been extended to buyers who are in contract by April 30, 2010 and is available to anyone who is a first time homebuyer or has not owned a primary residence for the past 3 years. We are delighted that the income level requirements have been raised to $ 125,000 for individuals and $ 225,00 for joint filers. What most people do not realize, is that the purchase price can not exceed $ 800,000. There are only 3 single family Burlingame homes for sale that are priced under $ 800,000.
